The next day, there was a commotion outside the orphanage;

slept too late last night and was woken up by the noise, Zhang Yifan still felt a little heavy in his head; looked up at the swaying figure outside the window, and remembered Aunt Wang's instructions yesterday, it seems that there is a city man who has come to adopt a child today; Immediately, I was a little excited.

But when I think about the convention, no adopter wants to adopt a child over the age of 10, and I can't help but feel a little gloomy.

"It's not that I don't know how to repay my kindness, if I stay in the orphanage, my nutrition will definitely not keep up, and the recovery of my strength will definitely be as slow as an ant; And without strength, it is not easy to have more. Zhang Yifan said with emotion; Then he showed a resolute expression and said: "Perhaps, it is the best choice to leave here, choose an ordinary family, eat well, recover your strength, and then repay the orphanage's life-saving grace." ”

After that, I got up from the bed, washed up briefly, and then put on clean clothes.

When I came out of the room, I saw the children of the orphanage playing in the courtyard, among them, Aunt Wang and Chen Yu were making food, and it was already eleven o'clock in the morning; At about this time of the day, it's time for dinner; Chen Yu's charcoal-like face saw Zhang Yifan, and said loudly: "Yifan, Yifan, the meal will be ready soon." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Yifan nodded at Chen Yu, indicating that he knew.

Aunt Wang was eating bibimbap on the side, and after hearing a vibration in her pocket, she took out her mobile phone and looked at it, then showed a happy expression, and said to Chen Yu: "Xiao Yu, you look at the rice, I will go out to welcome the nobles from the city." ”

Nobleman, naturally, is Aunt Wang's honorific title for the adopter.

Seeing Aunt Wang run out and even hand over the food to Chen Yu, Zhang Yifan naturally knew that it was the adopter who came; Sure enough, as soon as Aunt Wang ran to the door, she saw a middle-aged man with a slightly fat figure and a slightly round face walking from outside with a relatively simple woman.

However, the woman pushed a little girl in a wheelchair in;

The little girl looked no more than twelve years old, not much older than the children in the orphanage;

When Aunt Wang saw the little girl, her face changed slightly; According to the convention, adopters will not bring children, after all, the people who come to the orphanage for adoption are all childless, how can anyone who has a child of their own family have to come to the orphanage to adopt.

So, this is where Aunt Wang is puzzled and strange.

"This!" Aunt Wang hesitated for a moment, came to the middle-aged man and woman, and stopped talking.

The woman's face was a little kind, and she said to Aunt Wang, "You are Aunt Wang of the orphanage." ”

"Yes, I am." Aunt Wang nodded and said.

"Aunt Wang, don't be surprised, we are indeed here to adopt children; It's just that I don't worry about my daughter being home alone, so I brought her along. The woman also seemed to see Aunt Wang's thoughts, and explained.

"Uh-huh, welcome, welcome." Aunt Wang was sure that the other party was here to adopt the child, and the suspense in her heart naturally fell.

After a little chat, Aunt Wang came to the courtyard and organized the children in the orphanage to line up, so that the adopters could take a good look. After all, families who can adopt children can at least have enough food and clothing.

After Aunt Wang organized, she came to the middle-aged man and woman.

The woman hesitated for a moment, then said with a slight apology: "Aunt Wang, we have come this time to adopt a young man over the age of fifteen, and as for a child of five or six years old, we are not going to consider it; ”

"Why?" Aunt Wang asked subconsciously.

"I think you can also see that our family background is not particularly good, there is a daughter with disabled legs at home, if you adopt a five or six-year-old child, how can you have time to take care of it on weekdays." The woman's face was full of apologies, and she slowly expressed her thoughts.

After Aunt Wang heard this, her brows furrowed, and she naturally understood the meaning;

In other words, the adopter this time is not to adopt a child, to be precise, to find a laborer; Most of the people who can think this way are not good people; Therefore, Aunt Wang said with a cold face: "Both, our orphanage is not a place to sell children, please leave." ”

Looking at Aunt Wang's attitude, the woman seemed to know Aunt Wang's emotions, and hurriedly explained: "Aunt Wang, you have thought about it, we are not here to buy a child, we just want to adopt a child, and we only hope that he can help our daughter more or less on weekdays; We will never treat him badly, and we will treat him well. ”

"No! If you can buy a child in an orphanage in the name of adoption, you must not be a good person. Aunt Wang was very angry about buying and selling children, so she said bluntly.

"Aunt Wang, we're really not bad people; I just want to adopt a sensible child and hope that he can take care of our daughter in the future, that's all, nothing else. The woman began to sob.

"Madam, don't be like this, let's just run a few more orphanages; It's a big deal to pay a maid to take care of our daughter. The middle-aged man next to him stroked the woman and comforted her.

"We ran to a few houses, and we all ran to three, either without fifteen years old, or too old, and they don't look like good people at first glance; Spend money to hire a servant, who can you hire with your salary, let alone the servant you invite, who knows what his character is, and what if he abuses our daughter. The woman did not listen to the comfort, and wept a little louder.

Aunt Wang listened to the quarrel between the two, and her face was a little unnatural; Originally, she thought that the family who came to adopt was good, and if she fell in love with the children in the orphanage, it would be a good thing to adopt them; Unexpectedly, the family who came to adopt was not particularly good, and they also asked to take care of their disabled daughter; This kind of request can be said to be quite outrageous.

"Go, go, go." Aunt Wang said again and again.

"Aunt Wang, I'm willing to go with them." At this time, Zhang Yifan's voice came from the eaves of the courtyard room.

"Huh!?" Aunt Wang turned around and looked at Zhang Yifan with doubts; said: "Yifan, you don't understand the situation, they are not here to adopt, they are here to buy children; You must not go with them. ”

"I know!" Although Zhang Yifan is young, he has experienced things that ordinary people may never have in their lives; Therefore, there is still the ability to look at people; The woman's weeping was obviously not faked; A little combination of the middle-aged and the woman's demeanor, you can roughly deduce the character of these two.

Of course, it is also possible to make a wrong inference; However, if you can eat enough, it will be a matter of time before you regain your strength; At that time, will you still be afraid of these two ordinary people?

In his heart, Zhang Yifan had already calculated that what he urgently needed now was the problem of food and clothing, as long as this problem was solved, he would not have any constraints, and when the time came, he could even provide money and food to the orphanage; This is the best-case scenario;

This is the reason why Zhang Yifan wants to leave with this family.

"Yifan, you!" Aunt Wang was very anxious.

Zhang Yifan smiled at Aunt Wang and said, "Aunt Wang, don't worry, this family doesn't look like a bad person, and you won't suffer if you follow them." ”

"Yifan!" Aunt Wang was still a little worried; But seeing Zhang Yifan's resolute eyes, he sighed and said, "Okay, if you encounter any trouble in the future, go back to the orphanage, with Aunt Wang here, we are not afraid." ”

"Well, thank you, Aunt Wang." Zhang Yifan said with a smile.

It's just that the couple saw that Zhang Yifan's skin color was the whitest of these children, whiter than the two of them in the city; and their disabled daughters, who don't go out all year round, are all in vain; This made them look at each other, their expressions a little strange and a little hesitant.

Aunt Wang took the couple's expression into her eyes, and said coldly: "Why, look down on us Yifan!" Then please leave, we still don't want to be coolies for you. ”

"No, no, that's not what we meant." The woman hastened to explain; After speaking, he asked Zhang Yifan: "Child, what is your name; ”

"My name is Zhang Yifan." Zhang Yifan said with a smile.

"My name is Zhang Suyuan, this is my husband Chen Kang, and our daughter Chen Xiaoke; From now on, we will be a family; Come, Xiao Ke, call my brother. Zhang Suyuan introduced Zhang Yifan and looked at the disabled girl in the wheelchair after speaking.

The girl seemed to be a little scared, so she didn't speak before, and when she saw Zhang Yifan, she showed a shy expression.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Yifan." Zhang Yifan saw Chen Xiaoke's shyness, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said with a smile.

"My name is Chen Xiaoke, Xiaoke." Chen Xiaoke stretched out his hand shyly and said.

"Well, I'll call you Sister Xiaoke from now on." Zhang Yifan said with a smile.

is slightly familiar, Zhang Yifan has almost integrated into this somewhat warm family; However, from the eyes of the couple, it is not difficult to see that the two are not satisfied with themselves; Obviously, from his pale complexion, he also needs to be taken care of.

The two of them had come from the city to the country, looking for the children of a director, hoping to help take care of their daughter on weekdays;

Now I find a child who still needs to be taken care of, and I am somewhat dissatisfied; However, for the sake of today's plan, it cannot be replaced by a child of five or six years old; If you are a child of five or six years old, you dare to expect the little child to take care of their daughter, and thank God that you don't let their daughter take care of the little child.

There was no better choice, so the couple could only go through Zhang Yifan's discharge procedures with Aunt Wang.

After the formalities were completed, Aunt Wang repeatedly told Zhang Yifan to take good care of herself; At the same time, she did not forget to warn Zhang Suyuan and her husband, and after hearing that the husband and wife promised not to abuse Zhang Yifan, Aunt Wang was relieved.

Zhang Suyuan and his wife came by taxi; The car was parked not far from the orphanage; Perhaps because the road at the entrance of the orphanage is not easy to walk, the driver does not agree to drive in; Therefore, when Zhang Yifan and the family left, they needed to walk for a while.

On the way, Zhang Suyuan began to ask Zhang Yifan: "Yifan! Where are you from? ”

"I can't remember, I grew up living in an orphanage." Zhang Yifan remembered Aunt Wang's instructions and knew that most people would inquire about their ancestral home when they adopted; So very early, Aunt Wang instructed to unify the answer: I have lived in an orphanage since I was a child, and don't explain the rest, because too much explanation will cause trouble.

Sure enough, Zhang Suyuan and Chen Kang only knew a little bit about it, so they didn't ask any more.

After getting into the car, Zhang Yifan looked forward to the problem of food and clothing being solved; Nowadays, only when nutrition is replenished, can we have the strength to recover our strength, and with the strength we can have more.

The taxi left Jianghe Town, Zhang Yifan's brows were furrowed; Because outside Jianghe Town, whether it is the mountains or those plants, they are very different from the 21st century; There are many plants that Zhang Yifan doesn't know; Among them, there are also trunks that are blue and white;

From Zhang Suyuan's mouth, I learned that the city in their mouth, called Songjiang City, is a well-known city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is the only city within a radius of dozens of kilometers;
